Bug#718672: file-roller: does not properly handle relative paths on command line

Package: file-roller
Version: 3.8.3-1
Severity: normal

If file-roller is running, and you attempt to open another archive from
the command line in another directory using a relative path, an error
message appears indicating that file-roller could not find it. Using an
absolute path works. file-roller seems to be resolving the argument
relative to where the first instance was started.

Steps to reproduce (starting without file-roller running):
touch foo
zip foo.zip foo
mkdir bar
zip bar/bar.zip foo
cd bar
file-roller bar.zip &
cd ..
file-roller foo.zip                # fails
file-roller ../foo.zip             # works, but shouldn't
file-roller /full/path/to/foo.zip  # works
